His Executive Romance

At night "Darek, how are you lately? I have found a job now, and it will start in two days. You also graduated, right? What are your plans next? Going back to your hometown?" With a crackling typing sound, words appeared on the blank screen. Rose typed these words with a smile in her eyes and clicked the "send" button. There was a quick reply. "I am still discussing this with my family. and it seems there will be no other options but to get back home." Seeing this sentence, relieved Rose comfortably leaned on the back of the computer chair, feeling happy. Emma, who lives with her, couldn't help but to roll her eyes when she saw her like this: "You're chatting with your Darek again, right. How old are you to be addicted to the Internet, Who finds a boyfriend online these days anyway?." "First, he's not my boyfriend; we're good friends; second, you, Basically, told me to go out of my bubble and talk to other people than you." Rose immediately get back at her. "I think you like him." Emma looked at her computer screen. while shutting her screen off, Rose said, "No, Darek and I are just good friends; as I said, no more, no less." Emma has always been a down-to-earth person, in contrast to Rose, who is obviously not a realist at all. She rolled her eyes helplessly when she heard her say so. "Okay, I won't say anything, but because I'm a good friend, let me ask you: do you know anything about him other than his screen name, I mean I get all that friend stuff, but maybe he's playing you. Yeah, I told you to open up, but you should be careful too." Usually, Rose was used to being warned by Emma, so she simply sat there and didn't bother to explain to her again. Flash back Four years ago, when she was hospitalised because of a lung infection, she saw a little boy suffering from leukaemia. And when he was playing he broke his arm, She asked the nurse to borrow a pen from her, and wrote on the little boy's bandage, "Get well soon." "Don't worry, everything will be fine. You will recover soon. I wrote to you with a magic pen. This spell will make you feel better soon." The pale little boy face smiled, he looked like an angel, which hurt Rose's heart and she couldn’t hold her tears back. Later, when she overheard the doctor talking, she realised that the boy's family was not in a good situation, and couldn’t afford the hospitalisation expenses. The boy's parents cried urgently every day, but they always smiled gently in front of their boy. Unable to let such a happy family go through all the pain, Rose donated all the bills piling up on them, but it was hard for her to pay for the rest of the treatment. so she posted it on her blog, hoping that netizens could help by donating after seeing it. Unfortunately, at first, most people left messages scolding her for fraud and refused to believe it no matter how she explained it. In the end, the money raised was nothing; she could only worry with the boy's parents and watch him get worse and worse. Just then, someone named "Darek" sent a private email asking how much money the boy needed and whether he could fully support it. Rose, who was overjoyed, asked the doctor and carefully sent the amount to him, feeling uneasy because she wasn't sure he would really help her; it was not a small amount, which is why she felt like panicking. When she received the check from Darek, Rose burst into tears. Finally, the boy will get the proper treatment, and on the other hand, she felt that the abuse she received was worth it. Later, with God's mercy, the boy finally found a suitable bone marrow transplant and got a new life. Send Darek a photo of a family happily hugging each other, and he only replied "good" faintly, but it was enough to impress Rose. Since then, they have been always in touch. Getting all the memorise back in her head, Rose couldn't help smiling with the corners of her mouth, turned her chair in the other direction, and looked at the thick night outside the window of the city, feeling gratified. Darek, he must be a wonderful person. ………. The next day at the company. As soon as Rose entered the office, she felt something was wrong. It seemed that the atmosphere was more lively than before. Everyone got together and she didn't know what they were talking about. She looked around, only to discover that there were a new coworker. Looking intently, Rose couldn't help but become stunned. Bronzed healthy skin, sharp and clear grey eyes, a clean and tidy leisure suit—this new male colleague is very handsome; no wonder he has attracted the attention of all the women around him. After looking at him for a few seconds, Rose sat in her seat laughing at those girls who gathered around him like nerds. She did not pay any attention to the one who suddenly turned to her, looking at her with eyes trying to believe, and a simple frown in his eyebrows, expressing his shock. She turned on her computer and went immediately to the mailbox, to find the familiar sender, she quickly opened it. It was a message sent by Darek: "I have returned to my hometown, joined a new company, and went to work on the first day. The air is not bad, I kinda like it." Her eyebrows bent unconsciously, and she couldn't wait to reply "really, you’re here, that’s awesome. Then..." After a pause, she summoned up her courage and finally made up her mind. "Can we add each other on WeChat? I feel that email is a little, um, cold." After sending the email, Rose's face suddenly turned red. For many years, she and Darek have been in contact by email. Four years is a long time, and now the technology is convenient. However, neither of them has mentioned any other way to chat; they just keep such a close distance. Will he feel bad about that? Rose couldn't help but be anxious about him; she obviously liked him, as Emma said, but what about him? But fortunately, there was an echo over there sooner than she expected, and he agreed! Rose couldn't hide her shy laughter and sent him a friend request when he sent her his number. but, before receiving the email, the supervisor came over and clapped to get everyone's attention. “Ok, guys, I just need a minute. First, meet the new employees who came today. Joseph, introduce yourself to everyone, please!", the unsmiling supervisor looked at the handsome man beside him and smiled like a flower. After he stood up and started to introduce himself, Rose felt a bit strange around him; he was not familiar at all. "Hello everyone, my name is Joseph. I hope that I can cooperate with you smoothly in the future." "His voice is so nice." Rose heard the girls whispering admiration around her; she kind of felt nervous about it, but she had to admit that she was telling the truth. "Joseph, you're welcome in our family." Waiting for the supervisor to be done, he patted him on the shoulder and added with a smile: "Joseph is an excellent student with a double master's degree in finance and management from Wharton Business School." Like a stone stirring up thousands of waves, people's discussions rang out one after another. Most female colleagues were obsessed, and admired while male colleagues were jealous. Rose's eyes were full of appreciation, but in her heart, she was thinking about Darek, who has been studying in a foreign country alone since he was a teenager. She wonders if he is so powerful, like Joseph. Signing everyone to be quiet, the supervisor went on to say: "Everyone make yourself free tonight, we are going out together, chill people, it's time to celebrate and welcome new colleagues; everyone will come, no excuses; take that as a warning." Listening to the supervisor's instructions, Joseph frowned inadvertently, but no one noticed, except for Rose. It seems that he doesn't like the idea, she thought that. From the beginning, he was giving her incomprehensible looks; if she had more confidence in herself, she would have said that it was definitely love at first sight, but Rose doesn't think she has that skill. Have they seen it before? Rose was a little confused.
